You may have heard of the medicine Prunella Vulgaris. This medicine is mainly used to reduce swelling and can also clear away heat and detoxify. Many doctors will prescribe some Prunella Vulgaris to their patients when prescribing medicine to them, because Prunella Vulgaris has relatively few side effects in treating diseases and the effect is more obvious. There is a folk remedy called Prunella Vulgaris, which can treat the thyroid with the addition of brown sugar. So is it really effective?

Prunella vulgaris, also known as selfheal ball and selfheal flower, is the inflorescence and fruit spike of the selfheal plant of the Lamiaceae family. It tastes pungent and bitter and is cold in nature. It enters the liver and gallbladder meridians, and has the functions of clearing liver fire, relieving depression, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It has the bitter and cold properties to clear away heat, and the pungent and dispersing properties to relieve depression. It has the good effects of clearing heat and dispersing stagnation, and is especially good at eliminating scrofula (scrubella refers to lumps of varying sizes connected together on the neck), dispersing depression, clearing away liver fire, improving eyesight and relieving pain. "Illustrated Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "is bitter, pungent and slightly cold, enters the Jueyin meridian alone, eliminates scrofula, disperses qi stagnation, and stops eye pain."

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Prunella vulgaris can cure cold and heat lymph tuberculosis, head sores, break up abdominal lumps, and swollen and damp feet. It can also lighten the body."

The "Shennong Bencao Jing" records: "It is used to treat cold and heat, scrofula, fistula, head sores, ulcers, goiter, qi stagnation, and swelling and dampness of the feet."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that thyroid nodules are caused by long-term anger or worry, which causes qi stagnation, liver qi failure to regulate, and body fluids to fail to return to normal and condense into phlegm. When qi stagnates and phlegm condenses in front of the neck, goiter will form.

Ancient records have shown that Prunella Vulgaris can disperse goiter and reduce swelling, and it can also clear away heat and purge fire. Therefore, Prunella Vulgaris has a certain effect on the treatment of thyroid nodules. Therefore, Chinese medicine often regards Prunella Vulgaris as an indispensable medicinal material in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine to treat goiter such as thyroid nodules.

If you have various tuberculosis symptoms in your body, drinking water soaked with summer cypress has a certain therapeutic effect. Prepare two grams of Prunella Vulgaris, then boil it in water and take it in two or three times. You can also add some brown sugar when decocting the selfheal to make it into a paste, and then take it once in the morning and evening every day, with a course of treatment of one month. This method can effectively treat fever, cough, coughing up blood, sputum and chest pain, and it also has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on these diseases. If the patient is coughing up blood due to tuberculosis, you can soak summer cypress and rice wine together and then distill them, which has a certain hemostatic effect.
